The offshore waters of the Principality of Donglin have arrived, and the Kingdom of Luoyu has not yet established diplomatic relations with the Buffy Empire. If you drive the aircraft carrier in this way, it will be understood as hitting the door, so after anchoring and docking for a while. Zheng Xiyuan, Gong Yuluo, Anxi, and He Yao brothers transferred to the Xue family's merchant ship and landed.

Sitting on the teleportation array on the shore and going directly to Obsidian City, Zheng Xiyuan was about to go to the Xue family's shop to get the gift prepared for Ying Xia Yan. Unexpectedly, he was pulled by Gong Yuluo.

"What's wrong?" asked Zheng Xiyuan.

When he looked back, he saw Gong Yu blushing with shame, pulling the corner of his clothes and hesitating: "That, I thought about it, that, give ...... To the mother-in-law...... Mother's Gift...... Wouldn't it be nice to let someone else prepare?"

Gong Yuluo, who usually has a serious personality, has such a twisted look, although Zheng Xiyuan has seen it many times, he still can't help but want to shout cute. The important thing is that –

Mother-in-law?, this title is simply satisfying, so she smiled and asked, "Do you have any ideas about what to send?"

Gong Yuluo seemed to have been thinking about this question for a long time, and after Zheng Xiyuan asked, she immediately replied: "It's not good to be too expensive, how about I borrow your kitchen to prepare some snacks." ”

"Enn!" Zheng Xiyuan nodded, he was super relieved that Gong Yuluo's craftsmanship had tasted many times. Then he said: "I don't know if there are enough materials at home, I think it's better to go to Tianyue Pavilion to borrow their kitchen." It should be clean and the materials are relatively complete. ”

Let Anxi show her the way, and drive over to the house by the way.

Zheng Xiyuan finally decided to take the gift prepared by Xue Ruolan, and the words of Fengyu were vivid. Even if it doesn't count as Gong Yuluo's send, it is necessary to bring something to his mother if he hasn't been home for so long.

"Yo, isn't this the second son?"

When he arrived at the door of the Xue family's shop, a sharp-eyed guy was the first to see Zheng Xiyuan. He is a native of Obsidian City, how can he not know the great god Zheng Xiyuan.

His voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around him, and to Zheng Xiyuan's surprise, among the few unloading guys in the distance, Zheng Xiyuan saw Xue Ruolan, who was counting something, wearing a white dress, raising her star-like eyes and looking at him with a smile.

"Why did you come to Obsidian City in person?" Zheng Xiyuan asked unexpectedly. Although she was asked to prepare some gifts, she didn't expect that she would come in person.

Xue Ruolan wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Of course, let's take a look at your so-called fiancée, after hearing from you that she is a nobleman of the Luoyu Kingdom before, she can make your second son Zheng fall in love, she must be a beauty again, right?"

The rather joking words made a few guys on the side cover their mouths and snicker, but they didn't notice that a trace of bitterness flashed in Xue Ruolan's eyes when she said this.

Of course, Zheng Xiyuan also failed to find out. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, I don't know you yet? I don't bother you to make money, what about the gifts, take them out. I haven't been back for a long time, and I guess my mother will have to wait. ”

Xue Ruolan's eyes suddenly became solemn: "That's not in a hurry, in fact, I came this time mainly to tell you that the things you asked me to collect last time have already come to fruition." It's just that I must know, the Grand Duke of Luoyu that you are loyal to, that is, the current King of the Sky, what does he want to do with this?"

Because it was inconvenient to tell Xue Ruolan that she was the Grand Duke of Luoyu. So Zheng Xiyuan told him that he had a cooperative relationship with the Luoyu Principality at that time. He used the family power in his hand to serve him on the mainland and collect some materials, while the other party gave back his rich gold coins and various protections. Therefore, Xue Ruolan always thought that Zheng Xiyuan was doing things for the seething Sky King who had been uploaded by the mainland for a while.

As everyone knows, the rumored Sky King is the boy standing in front of him, of course, that kind of powerful character can't be this kind of little ghost who is not even fifteen years old, right? But perhaps, he will be able to achieve that kind of achievement in the future.

After all, although his family background is outstanding on the mainland, it is not the peak. But he is still so young, but he can already cooperate with the kind of big man who dominates one side.

After a look, a fellow came to her with a sack on his shoulder. Xue Ruolan bent down cautiously, and used her snow-white onion fingers to pull open the rope sewing the sack, revealing a pile of black lumps that resembled Ganoderma lucidum.

On the side, Xue Ruolan had already begun to explain the name of this thing and its use: "Li Lisi's tears." A peculiar flower that grows in a small country in the Cangyu Mountains, and its original state is very beautiful. When the skin is cut open, the emulsion that flows out is fired and fermented, and it becomes what it is now. Originally, it existed as a more popular anesthetic on the mainland. But later, due to the long-term use of ordinary people, it is easy to become dependent on it and even die. Therefore, the major powers of the mainland jointly banned the buying and selling of this thing. You must want it, so I'll get it for you. But if you let others know, it's illegal. So please be sure to help keep it a secret. ”

"It's all outside?" Zheng Xiyuan glanced at the sacks that were constantly being transported outside. Xue Ruolan said so much, but he basically didn't listen to it much. He knew more about it than she did—opium, which was what the earthlings of the previous life called it. It is also the source of morphine, the main ingredient for heroin and other drugs.

The tears of Li Lisi in Xue Ruolan's mouth are probably poppies in her previous life, right?

Xue Ruolan nodded and said solemnly: "Well, although it is a forbidden thing, it is only because of the huge profits that can be made." Therefore, many underground forces have bought and sold this thing. With the network of our Xue family and the Xue family, it is not difficult to get this. But because it is not shipped from the place of origin, but directly from the black market. So it's extremely costly. ”

"Wait, you just said that its main production area is the Cangyu Mountains?" Zheng Xiyuan suddenly reacted, that place, isn't that ...... With his own assistance, are you rising up? Sister, do you want to be so coincidental?

Xue Ruolan was taken aback by his reaction, nodded and said, "Well, it was originally a plant that could be seen everywhere on the continent. However, because the major empires ordered it to be destroyed, except for a few small countries, the plant has basically disappeared in other places. ”

This news is not good or bad for Zheng Xiyuan, it is not good because there is a war going on in that place, and it is not easy for him to open his mouth during the war to let the bloody Cangyu Six Kingdoms help him collect opium.

The bad part is that he has made a lot of heavy bets in that place, and he is still optimistic that the six countries of Cangyu can win this war, and when the six countries of Cangyu win, then they will become their own thugs and little brothers in the future.

Get rid of the magic crystal that mortgaged the weapon debt, and ask the little brother for the little brother to plant opium with a very low cost is not too much, right? I couldn't help but smile and said to Xue Ruolan: "Can you still have a way to buy these things? Try to help me get some more in the short term." ”

Sighing, Xue Ruolan rubbed her temples, and a gloomy look appeared on her face: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that guy from the Nalan family has been waiting to catch me." If the Xue family's involvement in the sale of this thing is discovered by the Nalan family, our whole family will be finished. So I simply can't work with you for long. ”

Looking at her haggard look, Zheng Xiyuan was really a little distressed, a few years ago, in order to infect Tianyuan Bank, the people of the Nalan family hired killers to wash the Xue family, which was the major shareholder of Tianyuan Bank. But the eldest young master of the Nalan family, Nalan Wuxian, still did not give up Xue Ruolan, the nominal fiancée, and was already dying of the Xue family in all aspects, in a vain attempt to force Xue Ruolan to be soft on him.

Although with the help of the strength of the Nalan family, the head of the eight alchemy families, Xue Ruolan would probably be his woman a long time ago. But in a way, that guy is very "gentleman". Over the years, he has been obsessed with his special courtship style. I know that it still hasn't stopped today.

In Zheng Xiyuan's words, it is-"That's a guy with a bad taste, and there is no shortage of women around him to play with." Therefore, for women who are particularly fond of it, they must want to fully enjoy the sense of hunting, and gradually force the other party to a situation where they are completely powerless to resist. ”

Although Zheng Xiyuan never felt that he was kind, he was angry at Nalan Wuxi's behavior.

Whether it's because he can't get used to the other party's methods, or because the object of the other party's attack is Xue Ruolan. Zheng Xiyuan himself didn't know the answer and didn't want to know, but all in all - it was right to kill the guy who made him unhappy. Whether it is Zheng Xiyuan or Chu Tianxie, they have always taken it as their life motto and faithfully adhered to it.

But at present, his power is not enough to affect the affairs of the Holy Light Empire. As for single-handedly, shooting Nalan without a trace with a flying sword is a promising idea...... But even with the wind to protect himself, the Holy Light Empire is the stronghold of the Cult of Light. I think that the pope, whom he has never met, will not let himself mess around in their country.

Zheng Xiyuan was about to whisper a few words of comfort, but suddenly heard the sound of a few passers-by talking outside the door.

One of them said: "Alas, the current son-in-law is really getting more and more unspeakable, and he is arrogant and domineering. In the past, when the second son was there, he was the only one, and the other sons and brothers saw him one by one like a grandson. Now that there are no tigers in the mountains, any monkey dares to be called a king. It seems that those sons just now are still from out of town. This kind of thing used to be bumped into by the second son, and the person was already hung at the gate of the city. ”

The second person said: "Yes, yes, I heard that the second son seems to be busy with something these days, and even Donglin rarely returns." Don't say it, as soon as that character left, even the gangsters squatting at the city gate became arrogant. ”

Zheng Xiyuan smiled when he heard this, but the next conversation between those people made his face change.

The third person came over and asked, "You two, this is not the first day, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

The second speaker replied, "Eh, you don't know, just now at the gate of Tianyue Pavilion, a little girl was entangled by a brother from other places. Although the little girl is very hard, she is as beautiful as a fairy. But I'm afraid I'm going to be ruined by those boys, you don't know, each of those boys has more than a dozen followers, and the muscles are bulging, and at first glance they are extraordinary warriors. ”

Zheng Xiyuan blushed and said to Brother He Yao: "You arrange for someone to wait for these things and gifts to go up to the mansion." ”

As he spoke, his figure had disappeared in an instant—or rather, his movements were so extreme that they were beyond the reach of the naked eye.

As soon as the words of the passers-by outside the door fell, they felt a gust of wind blowing beside them. I couldn't help but shudder, the weather was getting colder and colder.
